*Smaller* being what Skipp? I've had excellent results using

Our group just bought an MSF5000 900 Mhz, 75 watt repeater. The thing is
immaculate and the unit is even the PC programmable version, not the eprom.
New we need a manual.
Does anyone have the MSF5K manual for either 800 or 900 band they can part
with?
Or even one we could borrow long
Dan,
For the most part, they pop up from time to time on e-Pay. I can't say
whether some of the prices (Buy It Now) are good or not.
Also - have you tried Motorola parts? I don't know whether they are NLA
from the factory.

All great information Eric (thank you) but I have two or three
of the proper crimpt tools for each size terminal/contact and have
experienced the high current failure problem with more than my fair
share of properly made small powerpole connectors made by others
and myself.
cheers,

I've never crimped, always soldered. The assembly instructions provided by
Anderson give you your choice of either method.

I've never had an issue with the bodies coming apart. When I slide them
together they're a pain to get apart. I read some place that some CA. ARIES
groups decided to reverse the standard polarity. One may not want to glue
your go box radio connecters.

I too have used the SB-50 power pole connectors and they are GREAT !
All of my DC stuff here is standardized around the SB-50's
I have installed them on my Son's big John Deere tractors to power
accesory equipment, on his dairy farm
Nortel uses the SB-50's (Black) on their fibre equipment

Thanks but unfortunately spell checker recognizes both spellings and it
also missed my missing word "to" so even though I did use spell checker
is not full proof. I have a life which has nothing to do with this unwanted

When I want reliability, I do *both* - crimp then solder. (making sure
the solder does not 'travel' down the shaft of the contact.
Sorry for all the 'short' replies. I'll consolidate the rest here.
Someone mentioned Johnson equipment. The PPL6060 (UHF) I've been using

But can't you say that about anything? An improperly built repeater will
not be as reliable as one that is properly built. Is that the fault of
the equipment or the builder?

There are three ratings of PP that all use the same size shell. These
are the 40 Amp, 30 Amp, and I believe the third is 15 or 20 Amp. Most of
the ones you see sold are the 30 Amp version. The 40A is built obviously
heavier than the other two.
My previous comments were all relative to the 30A
The only difference is the size of wire that will fit.

The 40A ones look heavier. I was also told that they are made from a
different material, but don't recall exactly what it was - something like
tin vs silver plated or something.
